THE PUERTO RIGAN NATIONALISTS MUST BE FREED: 
INTERVIEW WITH RAFAEL CANCEL MIR^A 
AND ZORAIDA COLLAZO 

LIBERATION News Service 

"We have a word In Spanish, when you become 
indignado. We have gone through so much, and 
people just expect the Puerto Rican people to go 
on living on their knees and just beg the United 
States, 'Oh please, give us our independence.' 

They cannot understand our getting angry." 

— Zoraida Collazo, daughter of or.e 
of the four imprisoned Puerto 
Rican nationalists 

NEW YORK (LNS) — Lolita Lebron^ Rifaet Cancel 
Miranda t Irving Flores’ Rodriguez and Oscar Collazo 
are the four longest held political prisoners in 
the western hemisphere. They are in prison in 
the U.S. — tHree since 1954^ the fourth^ Oscar 
Collazo i since four years earlier in 1950. 

The following article includes portions of 
an August interview with Cancel Miranda at the 
Federal Penitentiary in Marion^ Illinois^ and an 
interview with Zoraida Collazo ^ Oscar Collazo's 
daughter. It is the edited transcript of a 
program produced by Celeste Wesson which appeared 
on WBAI radio station in New York City in iscember. 
In th^ programt Collazo discusses the history of 
the situation in Puerto Itco which led up to the 
nationalist attacks in 1950 and 1954^ and Cdnael 
Miranda described dome' of the treatment he has 
received in prison over fhe last 27 years while 
he "has stood by his refusal to ask the U.S. govern- 
ment for a pardon and thereby win his release. 

COLLAZO: The Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico 

organized as a result of the Part ido Union de 
Puerto Rico eliminating from their program the 
clause of Independence. Pedro Albizu Campos joined 
the part] that same year and in 1926 he was elected 
vice president. He then went on a tour of Latin 
America and came back in 1930 and was made presi- 
dent of the Nationalist Party. 

VJhen he was in Latin America he saw every- 
thing that was happening with the Latin American 
countries — all these big American corporations 
controlling these countries — so that his outlook 
had changed somewhat. He started educating the 
people and organizing the students and as early 
as 1934, the sugar cane workers called him and 
asked him to there to lead them in the sugar 
cane strike of 1934. 

The government of the U.S. noticed that the 
movement for llberaf*on of Puerto Rica was growing. 
So they used repression and the repression became 
quite violent, resulting in the death of four 
nationalists in Rio Piedras in 1935 durin" a 
demonstration in support of the sugar cane strike. 
(Then followed) the bringing to justice of Colonel 
Francis Riggs who ordered the Rio Piedras 
massacre, the assassination of the nationalists 
who brought him to justice, the Ponce massacre 
in 1937 (in which police opened fire with machine 
guns on a parade of the nationalist party, 
killing 22 people and wounding more than 200) , and 
the incarceration of the nationalist leadership... 

In 1947 Albizu Campos returned to Puerto 
Rico. He had been in Atlanta, serving a sentence 
Page TT LIBERATION News Service 


of six to 10 years for conspiracy. The government 
was really surprised that 40,000 people had 
received him in San Juan. They thought they had 
really destroyed this feeling of nationalism in 
the Puerto Rican people. 

In 1948 the students of the University of 
Puerto Rico asked the rector of the University to 
give them permission so that Pedro Albizu Campos 
could speak in a student assembly. The rector 
of course said no. And the students went on 
strike. The police in Puerto Rico became very 
vicious with the students. Students were beaten, 
arrested, many were expelled from the University. 

The University closed down for the rest of the 
semester and there was no Commencement exercises 
held that year. 

It all came to a peak in 195C. The govern- 
ment had been convincing the Puerto Rican people 
about a new formula - — the free associated state. 

And the government of the U.S. in Washington drafted 
a very poor copy of the constitution and were 
planning on shoving it down our throats in 1952. 

Don /Pedro was e'^ucating the people. He had 
been speaking contiruously in every town on the; 
island. And in 1950 the government really came 
down on the Nationalist Party — arresting national- 
ists, searching the houses without warrants. They 
were actually forced to defend their lives. The 
revolution was really provoked by the repression 
against the Nationalist Party. 

The nationalist 1950 Revolution broke out 
on October ZO after four nationalists were arrested. 
Fighting soon erupted^ spreading to all the 
island's major cities. For five days ^ tanks and 
planes t bombs and machine guns strafed the island^ 
seeking out the insurrectionists. Thousands of 
Puerto' Ricans were arrested^ thousands were con- 
fined to 'house arrest t hundreds massacred^ and 
those few Nationalists who did survive were 
sentenced to long prison terms. The 1950 uprising 
did manage to tctke over the city of Jayuya and 
proclaim the independent Tbpublic. Jayuya fell 
after four daysj but it was an expression of a far 
wider support among the 'Puerto Rican population. 

COLLAZO: I was 15 years old in 1950. We were 

living in New York. My father was the secretary 
of the Nationalist Junta in New York. And we were 
of course worried about what was happening in Puerto 
Rico. We used to read the news, listen to the news. 
And the media here made it seem like it was a 
bunch of fanatics, of crazy people killing one 
another. Puerto Ricans had gone crazy and it was 
some sort of civil war in Puerto Rico. No mention 
of U.S. involvement. 

So Oscar Collazo and Griselio; Torresola 
decided that they had to give a demonstration that 
woiJLd be so big that it would cause the attention 
of the American people and the whole world. Of 
course they knew that if they picketed the United 
Nations nobody was going to pay attention to them. 
But if two Puerto Ricans were to die before the 
residence of the president of the U.S., the people 
of the U.S. would begin to ask questions and to 
notice, and the world would know that there was a 
nation in the Caribbean that was struggling for 
its liberation. 

On November 1, 1950 ^ Oscar Collazo and Griselio 
(#895) January 20, 1978 more... 


ToTveeola attacked the Blair House ^ President 
Harry Truman's temporary residence. Torresola 
and a Blair House guard were killed. Oscar 
Collazo was sentenced to death. The death sen- 
tence was later conmuted to life imprisonment. He 
has been in "prison 27 years. 

COLLAZO: In 1950, the whole family, my step- 

mother, my two stepsisters and myself were taken 
to the FBI hes'iquarters here in New York for 
interrogation. And I was held all night, interro- 
gated'all night, without food, without sleep. « 
They took my fingerprints and the fingerprints 
of my stepsisters. They took mugshots, the 
works. Trying to Intimidate us, they made us 
wait in the hallway. And my stepmother and 
Torresola 's wife Carmen Delores, they passed 
^hem by with handcuffs. They were held for 30 
days. They were trying to prove that the women 
knew where their men were going. 

This really affected me in the sense that — 

I was already political from the age of 12 --but 
I really had a chance to see from near, to suffer 
itself, from the experience of what an imperial- 
istic country, the lengths they would go to when 
they are afraid of a liberation movement. 

I was followed to school. They would go to 
my aunt's house where I lived later on, and they 
would lock themselves in the kitchen with me and 
send my aunt upstairs and she would of course 
be intimidated by it... 

Still it was a beautiful experience to grow 
up among the Nationalists. All the people who 
were active in the Nationalist Party in New York 
were my family. Of course, I missed my father... 

In 1954, there were still hundreds of Puerto 
Ricans Incarcerated. As far as three years 
after the revolution there were people who had 
not received a trial. And many who had received 
trial, three and four years after the revolution, 
were later found innocent. 

Many people who were not even nationalists — • 
who were just sympathizers, friends, relatives — 
were incarcerated. There was this woman — the 
mother of children who participated in the revolu- 
tion - — she was accused of conspiracy and 
sentenced to 10 years because she fed her children 
that morning before they went to the revolution. 

Many, many things were happening in Puerto 
Rico. So Lolita Lebron, Rafael Cancel Miranda, 
Irving Flores Rodriguez, and Andres Figueroa 
Cordero decided that it was time again to drama- 
tize the question of Puerto Rican independence — 
in the Congress, because Congress is the legisla- 
tive body which passes the laws that have to do 
with Puerto Rico. 

CANCEL MIRANDA: It was not a kick. We bought 

one way trip tickets [to Washington] because we 
never expected to come back alive from there. We 
all expected to die there at that moment. Of 
course the main reason was not to die, though we 
expected to die. The main reason was to bring 
attention of the whole world to the reality Of 
Puerto Rico. j 

On March 2 , 1954^ Bxfael Cancel Miranda ^ 
Lolita Lebron j Irving Flores Bodriguez and Andres 


Figueroa Cordero fired their guns into the Congress 
of the United States. Five people were wounded. 

The four were all convicted of five counts of 
assault with a deadly weapon. The men were 
sentenced to 2S-27 years in prison. Lolita Lebron 
was sentenced to 16-50 years. The four were con- 
victed in another trial of seditious conspiracy to 
overthrow the gmernment. Six more years were 
added to their sentences. 

Andres Figueroa's sentence was commuted to 
time served, by President Carter on October 6j 1977 ^ 
after doctors diagnosed his cancer as terminal. The 
other four are still in prison. 

COLLAZO: It's very interesting that the U.S. doesn't 

admit that these people are political prisoners but 
they are discriminated against in prison precisely 
because of their political ideals. For example, 
they cannot receive any reading material that has 
anything pplitlcal. Meanwhile, the other prisoners 
can. Originally only relatives could write to them. 
Now, since their lawyers presented a lawsuit, they 
are a little more flexible. 

Whenever there was a demonstration of inmates 
complaining against the treatment of prisoners, or 
for example the demonstration that came as a result 
of the massacre in Attica, the Puerto Rican political 
prisoners would be accused of being the ones who 
planned and instigated it and so on. And they would 
be placed in solitary confinement. 

CANCEL MIRANDA: In 1970, there was a strike Isecause 

they committed what we considered a certain kind 
of abuse of three of the prison workers . So they 
said I was a leader and they locked me up for five 
months in the hole there — from October to March. 

Then in July 1972, they hit a Mexican with a 
blackjack. They're not supposed to carry blackjacks 
here, but a prison guard had a blackjack and hit a 
Mexican in the head. So there was a protest, and 
then a strike. So I went into the hole again — and 
that time it was a behavior control unit for 
behavior modification. I spent 17 months in that 
hole. There, they try to fool with your mind. [For 
example], my wife had been visiting me for many 
years, but when she came to see me on our 25th anni- 
versary, they clipped her hair and made her go naked. 

In March 1977 ^ Cancel Miranda was allowed to 
return to Puerto Hco for 7 hours for his father’s 
funeral. 

CANCEL MIRANDA: I went back to Puerto Rico mainly 

to celebrate my father's life rather than to mourn 
his death, because he was a revolutionary leader. 

He was a leader in Mayaguez oi the Nationalist Party. 
He survived the massacre of Ponce, where they 
massacred my people in 1937. He survived the revolu- 
tion in 1950. He survived the toughest penitentiary 
in Puerto Rico. 

This time he died defending his daughter. 

Someone took aim at his stepdaughter, so he jumped 
in front so that the bullet struck him, a little below 
the heart. And that was it. 

He was 70 years old, but he died just the way 
he lived. And I went there Lso to make sure that 
his burial was according to : le life he led. He was 
a revolutionary, and I wanted to make sure that his 
burial was a revolutionary burial.

YALE SEXUAL HARASSMENT CASE - 
TO BE HEARD 

NEW YORK (LNS)— The legal battle against 
sex discrimination made a small but significant 
step forward December 21, as a federal magistrate 
let stand a suit by a Yale University student 
who charged she had re'ceived a low grade in a 
course because of her refusal to have sex 
with her professor. 

' The magistrate ruled that the allegations 

of Pamela Price, a Yale senior', constituted suffi- 
cient grounds for a suit. Price charged that 
because she refused her professor's ^ offer of 
■ an "A” in his course in return for sexual 
relations with him, she received a "C" In the 
same course. 

■The ruling was .se.en as a major advance in 
sex discrimination cases because it acknowledged 
that under Title IX, which bars discrimination; 
in ” any education program or activity receiving, 
federal assistence", "sex harassment is ‘consider-- ■ 
ed sex discri-fflnat'ion," acicordlng to' Ann Simon, 

■ attorney for the plantlffs. Consequently, she ' 
said, the heretofore untested area of education 
will be recognized In cases of sax d'iscr'imination,. 

The magistrate, Arthur H. Latime'f, dismissed char 
ges brought by Price's five co-plaintiffs . a professor 
and- four former or current women students. Their 
C|harges were in Latxmer's words, untenable on 
their face," "moot" or "inadequete. " The four 
women students all alleged various sexual offenses 
While the professor charged that" his teaching 
efforts were impaired by what he called "the 
atmosphere of distrust of male professors engender- 
'dd by the' reputation of certain male professors 
for sexually harassing women students." 

Although she is"pleased with the decision" ■ 
overall .Simon" told LNS that there were numerous , 
examples of sexual harassment elsewhere. "I've 
talked to people at lots of other colleges... 

Other women are suffering the same type of 
harassment and university administrations just 
aren't doing anything about it." 

The case i.s- pr 3;sently..,3weitiug. to go to trial. 
Attorney Simon is attempting to have the case 
introduced in court as a class action suit 
on behalf of Pamela Price and all Yale students 
who have faced sex discrimination.

TEACHING HOSPITALS VIOLATE STERILIZATION 
GUIDELINES 

NEW YORK (LNS)— A recent survey conducted by 
the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR) , a New 
York-based legal and educational organization, has 
revealed that many of the major teaching hospitals 
in the United States are violating one or more of 
the current guidelines governing sterilization 
set by the Department of Health, Education and 
Welfare (HEW) . 

In a letter to HEW Secretary Joseph Califano, 

CCR attorney Nancy Steams called the findings 
' extremely disturbing' and urged that a special 
monitoring system for teaching hospitals be es- 
tablished to insure that they comply with the 
federal guidelines. 

HEW sterilization guidelines were developed 
to protect against the frequent occurrence of 
sterilization abuse"--where women have agrCed to 
sterilizations without being informed of the con- 
sequences or under threat that if they don't con- 
sent to sterilization, medical services will be 
denied or government benefits cut off. To guard 
against this, the guidlines establish reqilir^ 
ments for voluntary and informed consent and a 
72-hour waiting period between signature and pro- 
cedure. They also require that all consent forms 
clearly state that a woman will not lose government 
benefits if she decides not to be sterilized. 

However the results of the CCR survey showed that: 

*58 pemeht of the hospitals whi^^^ 
to the survey obtained 'efesent for sterilization 
operations at the time of admission for abortions; 

*One third obtained consent during labor; 

*60 percent reported no minimim age for steri-^ 
lization, although HEW guidelines set the minimum 
age at 21; And 

*30 percent use consent forms which do not 
include the notice informing patients that a 
decision not to be sterilized will not jeopardize 
government benefits. 

"Women are not being told what it's all about," 
Beth Bochnak of CCR told LNS. 

And in her letter to Califano, CCR's attorney 
Nancy ftsams emphasized, "Teaching hospitals should 
be among the best equipped to conform to federal 
policies of informed consent. As teaching hospi- 
tals, not only are they setting the standards for 
current medical practices, but they are also mold- 
ing the attitudes and practices of this nation's 
future generation. We are shocked to find that 
our future physicians are being trained to dis- 
regard the requirements of informed consent es^ 
tabllshed by HEW, particularly in an area as fun- 
damental as one's reproductive ability." 

CCR sent questionnaires about the HEW guide- 
lines to 365 teaching hospitals, all chosen be- 
cause they have full-time departmental chairpersons 
who supposedly directly control and monitor the 
practices of the residents and interns training 
at their hospitals. Of these 365 hospitals only 
64 returned completed questionnaires. However, 

PAGE* 20 LIBERATION News Service (//895) 


Sterns noted that in light of the degree of non— 
complimtce by "even those hospitals which ex- 
hibited enough interest and concern to respond, 
it may well be safe to assume that those who did 
not respond are even less respectful of HEW 
guideline requirements."

OREGON ANTI-NUKE ACTIVISTS FIGHT 
RADIOACTIVE WASTE STORAGE 

NEW YORK (LNS) — "Even the most ardent advo- 
cates of nuclear power will admit that waste dis- 
posal is a serious unresolved problem," Chris 
Attneave, a resident of Eugene, Oregon stated 
recently at a hearing on proposals to expand nu- 
clear waste storage at the Trojan Nuclear Power 
plant. Attneave was one of 60 people from all 
over Oregon who traveled to Portland January 4 
to present testimony in opposition to the pro- 
posal. 

Portland General Electric, which owns Trojan, 
wants to expand storage of spent radioactive 
fuel from the four years capacity now permitted 
to ten. Opponents of the plan charge that, in 
light of Trojan's long history of malfunctions, 
increasing storage of nuclear waste there would 
seriously endanger every citizen of Oregon. It 
would also, they say, "place Oregon in the posi- 
tion of being a de facto permanent waste depot 
for nuclear materials." 

"The proposed modification is but one in a 
long list of after the fact remedies apparent 
in the history of nuclear technology," R.G. Wolfe, 
a professor of chemistry at the University of 
Oregon, stated in his testimonyo Wolfe reviewed 
the failure of the nuclear industry and the 
government to find a proven method for storing 
radioactive waste safely. "One is reminded 
of the famous Walt Disney movie, 'The Sorcerer's 
Apprentice,' in which Mickey Mouse found each 
of the remedies leading to more serious and 
finally overwhelming problems." 

For the people of Prescott, Oregon, a small 
town near the Trojan plant, these problems are 
too much to swallow. They expressed their fear 
of nuclear waste storage in a petition presented 
at the hearings by one of their citizens, Delbert 
Burnham. 

"This petition has practically everybody's 
signature in the city of Prescott," Burnham 
told the board. He also questioned whether the 
waste stored at Trojan would ever be removed. 

"Is this a cover-up for permanent storage?" he 
asked the board. "Or is it temporary?" The 
board members did not respond. 

hearing testimony by the opponents of 
the waste storage expansion and Portland General 
Electric, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's 
Atomic Safety and Licensing Board will return to 
Washington D.C. to decide whether to allow the 
project. But Steve McNeil, of Eugene, who also 
presented testimony in opposition to the proposal, 
Abked the board to return to Oregon to announce 
its decision. That way the board could "respond 
to the questions of the people of Oregon," he ex- 
plained, Indicating that he shares the general

SQUATTERS, WORKERS BATTLE 

NEW REPRESSIVE LAW IN BRITAIN 

by Perry Shearwood 

LONDON (LNS) -- A tough new law directed 
against squatters^ trade unionists and students 
has already claimed its first victim in Britain. 

A young student squatter, Alan Beddoe, was arrested 
in early December aS police and bailiffs evicted 
squatters in the South London community of Batter- 
sea. Charged under Section 10 of the new Criminal 
Trespass Laws, Beddoe faces a maximum six months 
ijiq)risonment and a $2000 fine. 

The new laws — which took effect on Deeeinber 
1 give the police and courts greatly increased 
powers to stop "illegal occupations .v" Police are 
now allowed to bre^ into any building to search 
for and arrest anyone whom they believe has 
committed an offense under the act. They don't 
even need to bother about obtaining a warrant. 

In addition, the court procedures for evict- 
ing squatters have been streamlined. It is now a 
criminal offense to refuse to vacate a squat once 
the owner has fulfilled certain conditions. Pre- 
viously this was a civil offense. Obstructing a 
police officer or bailiff, even by passive 
resistance, has also been transformed into a 
criminal offense. And all these criminal 
offenses will now be tried in magistrate's court, 
thus denying the defendant the ojiportunity of a 
jury trial. 

The harsh new law was enacted at a tinje when 
England faces an acute housing shortage and more 
and more people are turning to squatting. Beddoe, 
for instance, arrived as a student at Goldsmiths 
College to find hin^ elf at the bottom of a 4,000- 
name waiting list for student accomodations. With 
at least a year to wait for any student housing 
and even the cheapest apartments renting at 
rates that would soak up more than 60 percent 
of the government grant on which most British 
students subsist, Beddoe had little choice about 
where to live. He joined dozens of other people, 
students and non-students, squatting in a street 
of empty, government -owned houses. And when 
months of negotiations failed to produce a compro- 
mise between the Battersea Tenants Association 
and the local government coimcil, he barricaded 
himself inside one of the houses along:’ with the 
other squatters until 40 policemen and sledge- 
hammer wielding bailiffs managed to drag them out. 

Students aren 't the only people in Britain 
who have turned to squatting. In fact, they are 
a distinct minority. A research report published 
in June 1977 found that most squatters were 
families with children and a majority were employed 
in some kind of manual labor. Contrary to news ^ 
paper caricatures of them as vandals, squatters 
were found to have made- major or minor repairs 
on three quarters of the houses they occupied. 


Page 21 


But facts like these have not deterred papers 
like the daily Telegraph from labeling squatters as 
"organized gangs of thugs, layabouts and revolu- 
tionary fanatics." Nor have they prevented the 
government from pressing ahead with its tough new 
law — even as 50 ,000 officially registered homeless 
families are put up in costly hotels at government 
expense while 850,000 houses in Britain stand empty 
and unused. 

The dangers of the new law extend well beyond 
its use against squatters like Alan Beddoe. The 
definition of "illegal occupations" can also be 
applied to workers who use the often effective tactic 
of occupying their factory during labor disputes, 
and to students who take over a university building. 

Passed with the combined siq>port of Britain:' s 
two major political parties, the law has brought 
together a broad range of groups in opposition. 

Trade unionists, the London Squatters Union, student 
groups and others opposed to this new measure of 
repression have formed the Canqjaign Against a Crimi- 
nal Trespass Law. They are organizing to fight 
for repeal of the law and in support of Alan Beddoe

RIGHT-TO-LIFERS INVADE NEW yoKK ABORTION CLINIC 

NEW YORK (LNS) -Anti-abortion forces scored 
a victory with the cut-off of Medicaid abortions , 
but they’re hardly resting on their laurelSo 
If a recent incident in New York City is any 
indication, abortion clinics will have to be on 
guard against occttp at ions and sit-ins by the 
Right-to-Life fofceSo 

New York City’s Center for Reproductive 
and Sexual Health (CRASH) was the target of one 
such attack 3 January 6 as about 60 Right-to- 
Life demonstrators stormed into the abortion 
clinic j creating what one nurse described as 
"total pandemonium„" 

"It was really an upsetting scenes" nurse 
administrator Hermione Thomas told LNS. "They were 
standing outside, singing hymns ^ reading Bible 
scriptures o They were all over the lobby, block- 
ing people from coming in, shoving Right-to-Life 
literature right under the noses of women coming 
into the clinic, screaming at them, ’You’re 
killing your babieSo’ 

"Two of the women (patients) were really 
upset," she continued„ "They started crying 
and left „ You see, for a lot of women the de- 
cision to have an abortion is not an easy one„ 

And to hear something like this, they already 
feel guilty and this reenforces those feelings «»," 

The early morning invasion was hardly 
spontaneous, Thomas stressed to LNS,. As ®^i“ly 
as 7:45 that morning, clinic staffmembers were 
informed hy police that the Right- to-Life demon- 
strators would sit-in and be arrested and that 
TV cameras and crews would be arriving to capture 
some of the action „ 

'!It was.all a contrived ■ thing to get TV and 
newspaper coverage," Th mas told LNS„ "The 
media went along with it„ And the cops went along 
with it„^. Several cop cars were out there waiting 
when the Right -to -Lifers arrived, but they 
didn't do anything until the captain arrived 
about a half hour later with back-up crews and, 
of course, the TV cameras »" 

It was at that point that the police captain 
went into the clinic and informed the demonstrators 
that they must leave or be arrestedo Several who 
refused to leave will go before a hearing January 
30 on criminal trespass charges,, 

The incident at the CRASH clinic was not 
an isolated one o While the New York City clinic 
was being invaded, several other clinics around 
the country. were targets of. similar actions-- 
apparently all part of a coordinated strategy by 
the Right-to-Life forces to make test cases of 
these kinds of actions „ 

Recently in Virginia a group of Right-to- 
Lifers forced their way into a procedure room and 
were actually. able to disrupt an abortion then 
going on, A Virginia judge. cleared them of 
criminal trespass charges, claiming that thefr 
action was legal since they b,ad reason to fear 
that life was being endangered, 

"Of course they’ll never get that kind of 
a ruling in New York City," predicted Becky Stanton

Sterilization Abuse (CARASA) — one of many grmps J 
around the country which have recently formed in ^ 
response to attacks on Medicaid abortions, ""But 
I think that’s what they're trying for," 

Meanwhile Stanton said that CARASA is planning 
on organizing "flying squads" of women who could 
be called in the event of another incident of this 
sort--wmen who would report immediately to the 
clinic vinder attack, set up counter-pickets, help 
escort wmen into the clinic and counsel patients 
inside, 

"That would be terrific," nurse administrator 
Thomas told LNS, when asked what she thought of 
the idea, "I’m sure the Right -to-Lifers will be 
back, I don't see them giving up,"

CHEMICAL WORKERS EXPOSED TO 
CANCER -CAUSING SUBSTANCE 

NEW YORK (LNS) --The Occupational Safety and 
Health Administration (OSHA) recently issued an 
emergency order requiring a drastic cut in worker 
exposure to acs^lonitrile , a con5)oundl widely used 
in the production of synthetic tioer and a broad 
range of other products. 

The substance is believed to be the cause of 
an unusually high rate of lung and colon cancer 
found in a survey of workers at a Du Pont plant 
in Camden, South Carolina, 

OSHA estimates that 10,000 UoS, workers have 
been directly exposed to the dangerous substance and 
125,000 other workers have been exposed to lesser 
degrees. About 1„5 billion pounds of acrylonitrile 
are produced in the United States each year. 

Two of the major producers of the substance, 
the Monsanto Company in St. Louis and Vistron, a ( T 
Cleveland subsidiary of Standard Oil, are planning 
to file suits against the government in order q 
to halt enforcement of the order, according to the 
Associated Press, On January 16, the day the order 
was released, a Monsanto spokesperson said the 
company would contend that the chemical represents 
no clear, innnediate and grave danger to employees. 

Other companies producing the substance 
include American Cyanamid, Dow Chemical, Eastman 
Kodak and Badisfebe,

SHAH’S WIFE, PROTHC JED BY 2,500 N.Y.C. POLICE^ 

MEETS MILITiUST. PROTEST IN U.S. VISIT 

by Frank Forrestal 

NEW YORK (LNS)^-On January 12 over 1,000 
Iranian students stage# a militant demonstra- 
tion in front of the New York Hilton, protesting 
the visit of Empress Farah, wife of the Shah of 
Iran. 

The Farah waa the honored guest at the 
twenty-first anniversary celebration of the 
Asia Society, a well-known right-wing cultural 
organization founded by John D. Rockefeller. At 
this annual fundraiser were some of the most 
powerful members of the U.S. ruling class, in- 
cluding Henry Kissinger, former Director of the 
CIA Richard Helms, Nelson Rockefeller, John D. 
Rockefeller, and the presidents of the largest 
U.S. oil companies. 

Outside the Hilton, a long line of barri- 
cades backed by hundreds of riot-equipped po- 
licemen separated the anti-Shah Iranian Student 
Association from several hundred "pro- Shah" peo- 
ple. Pro-Shah gpMips have been organized for 
years in other countries and recently in the U.S. 
by the Iranian secret police (SAVAK) . The pro- 
Shah group outside the Hilton included mainly 
Iranian businessmen and military personnel 
training in the U.S., as well as members of the 
U.S., European and Iranian branches of SAVAK. 

In what appeared to be the largest show of 
force ever gathered for an Iranian demonstration, 
over 2,500 New York City policemen were also sta- 
tioned around the Hilton. They were out on the 
streets by 3 pm to prepare for the evening event, 
reportedly after viewing films of the recent 
9000-strong protest in Washington, D.C. It was 
clear that the large show of force was a reaction 
to the D.C. clashes during the Shah's November 
visit. Inside the Hilton the Arson and Explosive 
Squad and over 200 New York police officials pro- 
vided security for the event. 

While Iranian,' students outside the Hilton 
shouted "Down, Down with the Fascist Farah," 
the Farah' s lengthy speech inside was interrupted 
six times by members of the audience. One 
woman, dressed in an evening gown, soreaped, , 

"twenty— six people were killed in Iran last year. 

The Shah is a murderer. Down with the Shah." 

She was immediately dragged from the room by 
six security guards. 

Following this outburst, a member of Clergy 
and Laity Concerned sprang to his feet and be- 
gan yelling, "The Shah is a murderer. I was just 
in Iran. I saw a woman with cigarette burns from 
being tortured." He too was roughly dragged by 
security agents from the room. Several other 
persons present voiced their protests against 
the Shah's repressive regime. Meanwhile a hand- 
ful of Iranian students were arrested for trying 
to get inside. 

Several international human rights organiza- 
tions have condemned the Shah's regime as the 
worst violator of htiman rights In the world. Dur 
ing the past few months demonstrations against 

FAGtr ’H’ LIBERATIoi' News Service (#895) 


the Shah have taken place In every major city 
in Iran. All the demonstrations have been met 
by a brutal onslaught coordinated by' SAVAK and 
the Iranian police. Over the last three months, 

67 demonstrators have been killed there, and 
hundreds have been arrested.

PROTESTS ERUPT IN NICARAGUA AFTER SLAYING 
OF OPPOSITION LEADER 

NEW YORK (LNS)—Large scale protests broke 
out in the Central American country of Nicaragua 
January. 12 following the slaying of Pedro Joaquin 
Chamorro Cardenal, editor of the country's sole 
opposition newspaper and well— known political 
opponent of the Somoza government. 

More than 30,000 people attended Chamorro's 
funeral two days after he was shot .repeatedly 
by three men who forced his car to the curb in 
the capital city of Managua. 

At least and possibly as many as five 
people were kill(ed .and more, than twenty injured 
during clashes with heavily armed National Guards- 
men positioned near the cemetery' during the funer- 
al. Witnesses reported that the guardsmen fired 
tear gas and machine guns Into the crowd. Over 
130 were arrested. The initials of the Nicara- 
guan guerrilla group, the Frente Sandinista de 
Liberacion National (FSLN) were written in blood 
outside th ceffieiery. During protests the night , 
before the funeral, five factories and two banks— 
including a branch of Citibank— were burned. 

The killing and subsequent protests come 
in the wake of a series of strong challenges to 
the Somoza regime within the past four months. 

A major guerrilla offensive was launched by the 
Sandlnlstas in mid-October end disputes withan 
the ruling family erupted after President Anasta- 
sia Somoza was hospitalized. Opposition in- 
tellectuals 5 -buslnessmer. and clergy organized 
and spoke o'ut more loudly against the regime. 
Twelve such people published an appeal in Cha- 
morro's paper, La Prensa^ calling on "all consci- 
entious Nicaraguans" to unite in opposition to 
the "repressive forces of tte dynastic govern- 
ment." The letter stateds "a solution that will 
guarantee a permanent peace cannot be achieved 
without the participation of FSLN." 

The statement was printed shortly after 
martial law and three years of strict censorship 
were lifted. During tt.',. past several months 
Chamorro and a, coallt ioxi he headed, the Democratic 
Liberation Union, campaigned for the freedom of 
prisoners being held without trial. Chamorro 
himself had been jailed four times by the Somoza 
regime,

LNS NEWS Al^ALYSIS : 

■U.S. ROLE, ISRAELI INTERESTS IN THE SINAI 
by Frank Forres tal 
LIBERATION News Service 

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LNS) — In the wake of 
Egyptian President Sadat's trip to Jerusalem and 
the subsequent talks held in Ismalia, Egypt, it now 
seems clear that the outcome will be, if ahything, 
a separate peace agreement between Egypt and Israel. 
An examination of the last such agreement suggests 
that one Important by-product would be a quantum 
leap in direct U.S. military and technical involve- 
ment. 

The central conflict in the Middle East -- 
the right of Palestinian self-determination versus 
Zionist expansionism on their land — is not being 
solved in the current negotiations. The Pales- 
tinians' representative, the Palestine Liberation 
Organization, has been excluded from the talks. 

And the U.S. and Egyptian governments are going i 
along with Israel's position which precludes the 
right of the Palestinians to form an Independent 
Palestinian state. 

As a result, Egypt has forfeited much of its 
claim to be representing overall Arab Interests, 
including those of the Palestinians, Therefore, 
Israeli withdrawal from the Egyptian Sinai is 
expected to be more possible to negotiate than 
any withdrawal from the Palestinian West Bank and 
Gaza Strip. (Israel has occupied all these areas, 
along with the Syrian Golan Heights, since the 1967 
Middle East war.) 

Yet even an Israeli withdrawal from occqpled 
Sinai is fraught with thorny problems dictated by 
decades of expanslonllt policies. The Ideological 
underpinnings of Israeli Prime Minister Menachem 
Begin's Likud Party, combined with Israeli per- 
ceptions of security, oil interests, and militant 
settlement plans, have come together to forge an 
Intractable force that may well abort even a 
sepaijate peace agreement with Egypt. And the 
history of past negotiations indicates that both 
sides may look to a massive injection of U.S. per- 
sonnel and equipment as the only way to salvage 
anything. 

Israeli Military Interests 

The prospect that Israel will withdraw from 
Sinai poses major strategic and logistical problems, 
according to Israeli military officials. Since the 
1973 war, Israel has moved its militaiTr supply 
bases, including four air bases, from Inside the 
lands Israel has held since 1948 to "forward bases" 
closer to the borders of the newly colonized 
land. (Prior to the 1973 war, Israel transported 
its military supplies and troops from the Negev - 
region.) Colonization of Arab land has brought 
with it a "several 100 percent"increase in Israel's 
armed forces. Consequently, Israel maintains 
"huge forces" in Sinai, the West Bank and Gaza . 

Israeli hawks are loath to relocate their 
early warning station at Umm Hashiba and their 
military base at Refidlm — a former Egyptian 
base which has grown considerably since the 1967 
war. Israel has also committed itself to main- 
taining a large air base in the northern region of 
Rafiah. Moreover. Sinai has served as an 
PAGE 24 LIBERATION News Service 


training ground for Israel's Armoured and Artillery 
Corps and for testing newly acquired military equip- 
ment. : _ 

/ ’ , ^ Israel's Oil Interests 

Israel has increased its stakes in the Sinai 
even further when it discbvered oil fields at El Tur 
in the Gulf of Suez and in northern Sinai near 
El-Artsh. Up until now Israel has had to depend 
on Mexico and Iran for its- imported crude oil. 

The new oil discovery at ET^ur may prove to be 
a large oil field which could satisfy 35-40% Of 
Israel's oil needs. A U.S. -based but Panamanian- 
registered oil company, Moncrief International, is 
carrying out the drilling under a contract with the 
Israeli government. It is widely beiieved that 
Moncrief International is a cover for one or even a 
few of the "seven sisters" (the seven major oil com- 
panies which, control most oil production throughout 
the Middle East and the world. By camoflaging their 
involvement any of the seven sisters involved could 
get around Arab boycott regulations which nrevent 
commercial ties with Israel ) Since it is registered 

in Panama, Moncrief Intiernational is sheltered by 
Panamanian corporate laws that provide relative 
protection against internal auditing of corporations.)*^ 

Neptun, an Israeli oil company, has also been 
drilling for oil in the El TuFarea. Most of the 
capital for the drilling has been supplied by U.S. 
companies and an Israeli firm called Yardin. The 
latter firm has very strong connections with Begin's 
government. In the past 20 months, Yardin shares 
have risen in value by more than 400 percent. 

In northern Sinai, the UoS. -based Western Desert 
Oil Qompany is exploring for oil and natural gas 
reserves in the Bardawill lagoon. Similarly Western 
Desert is registered in Panama. Further explorations 
are. being carried out by a Canadian firm (with no 
Arab cbnhections) and a British firm along the Medi- 
terranean shores. 

Meanwhile, Israel has stepped up its drilling 
in the Sinai, 

Israeli Settlements 

During the decade that it has occupied the Sinai, 
Israel? has followed its long-held policy of strengthen- 
ing its presence on occupied lands by establishing 
military and civilian settlements there. 

Israeli set;£lements in the Sinai resemble an 
arc that extends from the Rafiah Approaches (recent- 
ly renamed Yamit region) in northern Sinai to the 
Tur settlement in the Gulf of Suez. 

For the past few years Israel's military has 
destroyed Bedouin homes, schools and mosques in this 
region. Thousands of Bedouins have been forcibly 
evicted from their land ^ moved to designated fenced- 
off areas, and in many cases rehired at low wages to 
work for Israeli industries on their confiscated 
lands. 

Begin's Minister of Agriculture General Ariel 
Sharon, who along with Foreign Minister Moshe Dayan 
for years spearheaded the movement to colonize 
Bedouin lands, is now Seeking to establish 24 new 
settlements in the Rafiah region of Sinai. Twenty 
of these settlements would be military-manned out- 
posts (nahals). 


Begin's cabinet has barred these new settle- 
ments for the time being but has, on the.oth®e hand, 
encouraged settlers to beef up the already existing 

(#895) January 20, 1978 more... 


settlements in northern Sinai o 

Sharon sanctioned the clearing of Bedouin 

homes for eight now settlements between EI-Arish 
and the Gaza Strip in early January* Settlements 
along the coastal road to. Sharm el Sheikh, at the 
southern tip of the Sinai peninsula are also now 
being built. Almost $25 million has been ear- 
marked by the Israeli government for these new 
settlements., 

Begi|i*s Plan for the Sinai 

Prime Minister Beginis plan for the Sinai 
calls for a, two -St age withdrawal. Immediate with- 
drawal to a line extending from El-Arish in, the , 
Mediterranean to thn Gulf of Aqaba in the south, 
and then down, the coast to Ras Mohammed, at the 
southern tip. of the peninsulao Secondly , a total 
withdrawal in three to five years to the 1967 
international boundary. 

The twor-stage withdrawal is contingent upon 
three Israeli stipulations: territory returned 

to Egypt must be demilitarized, Egypt will not 
be allowed to move, eastward beyond the Gidi and 
Mit la line, and E©fpt must unilaterally reduce 
its forces. Underlying all of this is the assimp- 
tion that the U.S. will provide the people and 
instruments to police, the demilitarized zone. 

In the transition- period, Israel will main- 
tain airbasea, armed forces and an. early warning 
system on .the-El-Arish. line. Israel is also 
trying to hold on to Sharm El Sheikh., a strategic 
military outpost which directly, controls access 
to both the Gulf , of Aqaba, and the Gulf of Suez . 

Israel has proposed to seek a lease for Sharm el 
Sheikh from Eg>pt and/or to hand Sharm el Sheikh 
over to the U.S. CJ®zwaZem Post, 12-27-77) . 

Begin, has. pledged that in. any. agreement the 
settlements, in, Sinai will"be linked to Israeli 

administration and law" and that I'they will be 

defended by Israeli force." Preliminary plans 
are also being, made for U.E. "units" and U.N . 
forces to provide, security for Israeli settlements. 

According to press reports here and in Israel, the 
settlements would probably eventually fall under 
Egyptian sovereignty, but be protected by joint 
Israeli-U.S. police forces. This has caused an 
outburst from settlers in Sinai and from the 
fanatical Israeli nati<s}a4ist group, Gush Emunim, 
which insists on Israeli sovereignty over all the 
occupied territories. (In the West Bank, Gush 

Emunim is going. ahead with new settlements — 

at Shilo, Haris and ElonMoreh.) 

Begin's proposal for the Sinai, particularly 
his desire to maintain control of Sharm el Sheikh 
and the settlements in northam Sinai with Israeli 
forces, isuhacceptable to the Egyptians, Nego- 
tiations on the withdrawal are now underway in 
Cairo by the joint Egypt-Israel military committee 
set ip at the Ismailia meeting. 

Sinai Field Mission and U.S. Role 

One thing that is clear in the current nego- 
tiations in the Middle East is the large role , 
played by the U.S. government. In the Sinai, 
this role goes beyond international negotiating 
and involves the U.S. mi lit ary /industrial complex 
itself. As a result of. the last Israeli -Egyptian 
PAGE .25 LIBERATION News Service (i 


agreement, the second disengagement agreement of 
1975, a U.Si "warning station" was set up in the 
western Sinai. Both Israel and Egypt have a surveil- 
Ipice station in the U.S. -monitored bu^fpr zone. 

Initially, Israel proposed that American troops 
be stationed in the Sinai to provide security for 
Israel. This proposal was rejected by Secretary of 
State Henry Kissinger in order to avoid public 
protest in the aftermath of the war in Indochina. 

It was then decided by Israel "to give the Americans 
something that did not seem like a military mission." 
In the agreement, the Israeli government made the 
smallest concession of territory it could but in 
return received increased American economic and 
military assistance. 

In compensation for withdrawal from the 
strategic mountain passes and the oil fields at Abu 
Rude is , the U.S. government gave Israel $2 billion 
in military and economic. aid. Moreover, Kissinger 
made a secret commitment to "maintain Israel's 
defense"vwith the most sophisticated weaponry and 
not to recognize the PLO until it accepts the 
legitimacy of the state of Israel. There is strong 
reason to believe that a large portion of the 
weaponry included sophisticated anti-guerrilla 
warfare equipment . 

Electronic Battlefield 

Under the auspices of the U.S. , the Sinai 
Field Mission (SFM) was established in western Sinai 
to monitor and police through an elaborate electronic 
battlefield all movements on land and air by Israel 
and Egypt. There are now 47 electronic battlefield 
stations, all in the Israeli -occupied zone east of ■ 
the buffer zone. 

The U.S, contracted with two U.S. -based firms, 
E-Systems and the Mitre Corporation, to set x;p 
and run the U.S. warning station. E -Systems has 
for years supplied the CIA and National Security 
Agency (NSA) with sophisticated communications 
equipment and electronic warfare technology. In 
1972 the Department of Defense accounted for 90 
percent of E -Systems' contracts; today this propor- 
tion has declines to 55 percent as sales to other 
agencies and foreign governments have increased .t 
E-Systems' special communications and electronic 
intelligence devices are also vised for domestic 
repression by U.S, and Latin American law enforce- 
ment agencies . 

Mitre, like E -Systems , specializes in the manu- 
facture of repressive technology. Domestically, 

Mitre is a large supplier of police equipment to 
the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration and 
has contracts with the U.S. military for communica- 
tions and information systems and military 
engineering. 

Almost all of Mitre' s en^iloyees have at one 
time been employed with U.S. intelligence agencies. 
Besides developing covin ter- insurgency technology. 
Mitre has published extensive intelligence reports 
on national liberation movements throughout the 
world. The PLG has been a major concern of Mitre. 

U.S. "Technicians"-- Military Personnel 

Although Congress stipulated that no intelli- 
gence and military personnel would be allowed in 
Sinai, government reports have shown that most of 

95) January 20, 1978 more... 



the U.S. technicians were trained, and some may 
still be employed by the Department of Defense 
(DOD) and U*S. intelligence agencies. 

The latest Sinai Support Mission report to 
Congress* in October 1977, reinforces this view, 
arguing that the restriction against employing DOD 
and intelligence personnel is discriminatory to 
a number of Americans seeking employment in the 
Sinai, "Most applicants for positions as sensor 
technicians or communicators," it states, "tend 
to be former military personnel." It recommends 
that the only restriction on employment in the 
Sinai be against "persons who have served on 
active military duty been employed by the DOD 
or a U.S, foreign Intelligence gathering agency 
within one year from the date of hire, or selection." 

This loosening of restrictions coincides 
with suggestions that -this U.S. presenco in the 
Middle East may be prolonged and e>:panded 
significantly. The system was Originally 
planned to last three years; a GAO report now 
suggests that American involvement will continue 
indefinitely. 

The same source also notes that "one senior 
Israeli official has already suggested that the 
SFM could serve as a model for use in other 
Mideast trouble spots, such as the Golan Heights 
or the -West Bank." Sinai Support Mission Director 
Constantine William Kontos confirms elsewhere that 
"some very preliminary thought about sensors and 
patrol techniques'' has been discussed as "part 
of a possible Arab-Israeli agreement being 
debated in Geneva," 

If the. current Middle East negotiations do 
lead to further Israeli withdrawals it seems 
quite likely that as compensation this highly 
sensitive American presence will multiply to the 
thousands. This in turn could easily lead to 
direct American combat involvement in any future 
hostilities,

HISTORIANS SIY NO TO RADICAL PROFESSOR 

NEW YORK (LNS) — Yale University's image as 
a liberal institution was sullied last year 
when the school's history department refused to 
sponsor a teaching appointment for Communist 
scholar Herbert Aptheker. Now, to add insult 
to inj ury, a. committee of U.S, historians endorsed 
Yale's position on January 14 , 

Prompted by the protests, of five historians 
who criticised the history, department 's decision, 
a joint committee of the American Historical 
Association and the Organization of American 
Historians probed the controversy for one year 
and finally made its decision.

History department officials reportedly had 
refused to sponsor Aptheker 's seminar on the 
life of W,E,B, DuBois after criticising some 
of his study methods. But Aptheker' s supporters 
claimed that the decision was based on his po-

Pinochet received a 77% vote of confidence 
January 4, after barraging Chileans with ads in 
the press and leaflets dropped from air planes. 

The vote itself was conducted and counted solely 
by government agents who had no way of confirming 
voter eligibility since the military burned 
all voting records in the 1973 coup. 

The vote was held shortly after the United N 
Nations passed a resolution condemning Chile's i 
military rule, and was used by Pinochet as ,a_ 
pretext for continuing internal political re- 
pression, Following the election, Pinochet 
announced at a "victory" rally : "No more elec- 
tions or voting for ten years.'* 

While the"plebiscite" gave little indica- 
tion of the widespread opposition to Pinochet's rl 
rule, the reaction in the streets of Chile did 
just that. The two week period between the 
announcement of the vote and the vote itself saw 
the first sustained mass protests in Chile in 
the four years since the coup. Chileans marched 
through the cities chanting "Freedom."' "Chile, 
yes , junta no.'" 

A statement published by the Chilean MIR 
(Movement of the Revolutionary Left) said of 
the referendum: 

"No one can bestow credibility on the 'Pin- 
ochet plebiscite' since to do so would be to 
support the silence of the dictatorship about 
the 2,500 people who have disappeared, the assass- 
inations and tortures by the ex-DINA (secret po- 
lice, now called CIN) , the situation of the hun- 
dreds of political prisoners, the policy of super- 
exploitation, unenq>loyment and miseiy of the 
masses. If the Chilean people could choose 
today between military dictatorship and freedom, 
they would sweep away the junta and with it the 
powerful national and foreign corporation owners 
it serves, 

"The masses have no other road than that which 
they are following: to organize themselves to 

overthrow the dictatorship and freely elect a pop- 
ular and revolutionary democratic government, with 
the participation of all the forces that contribute 
actively to the overthrow of the military junta. ''

i^LITICAL UPRISINGS ERODE SOUTH AFRICAN ECONOMY 

NEW YORK (Southern Africa/LNS)--A few years 
, ago the headlines would have been as shrill. .as„the 
attacks would have been extraordinary. But not . 
any more. After more than a year and a half. of. 
school boycotts, demonstrations and daily clashes 
between angry blacks and police, bombs - and arson 
have also become an acknowledged element of daily 
life in South Africa. And reports in the South 
African press are almost laconic; ’K!|^e bombing— 

Two security guards were allegedly held down by 
students while a petrol bomb was tossed into the 
Bantu Administration Board Building in Zwelitsha 
near King William's town last night;" "Pamphlet 
bombs explode in City;" "Blast outside Johannesburg 
police station;" "Blast in train: guard hurt;" 

"Bomb blast at Carlton." 

The last three headlines all hit the newsj* ^ 
stands during a single week. In the first two 
weeks of December, four bombing attacks were re- 
ported in the Johannesburg area alone. And with 
such episodes now a standard part of the political 
landscape, the question addressed with increasing 
candor by the captains of South African government 
and industry is how the once-proud economy can hold 
vq). 

"The insurance industry and the Government 
have had high-level talks on the possibility of 
setting up a national riot or urban terrorism fund," 
The Star reported in late November. "Insurance 
spokesmen said the potential for loss by con|>anies 
was 'astronomical' and for this reason firms were 
unwilling to offer riot coverage. Another executive 
said pluntly:- '^We don't see ourselves offering 
urban terrorism cover."' 

Insurance may be one of- the lesser worries 
besetting the South African, economy. But it is 
syi^tomatic. So. was a 50 -page supplement put out 
hy the F inanpidl M.a£l, South Africa's equivalent 
of the Wail Street Journal, on November 10— its 
cover featuring the word SECURITY in two-inch high 
red- letters , right below the fangs of a snarling 
attack dog. 

"There are still people who think that the 
'troubles that first bubbled over in Soweto last 
year will go away > when the evidence is that they 
could get far worse before they get better," the 
supplement 's forward warned. The next 49 pages of 
aidvice on alarm systems, gims, private guard ser- 
vices and various gadgets make it clear that "the 
evidence" has created at least one new growth 
industry. 

But the rest of the. economy is not flourish- 
ing. The signs for the future are not auspicious. 

And the growth of black resistance to apartheid is 
reflected in the statistics about rising inflation 
(11 percent for 19:77) and sinking profits. 

It shows also. in the unsettled mood of major 
sectors of South African industry and consumers. 

As , for instance, when one newspaper headlines 
"Swingabout in migration hits house building." 

With whites no longer flocking to the comtry at 
a rate of 30,000 a year* the article e^qplains, ex- 
perts now cal culate a net loss - of 2 ,000 white citi- 
zens for 1977 and "a., deep, slide in demand for new 

homes for white families" in 1978. 

PAGE 27 liberation. News Service - C#S95) 


Tbe, inj>act of political resistance shows 
even, more in the increasing pressure from abroad, 
as. the. United. Naticais serious ly contempl ates an 
oiL embargo and, major corporations talk about 
cutting bait. 

South African officials , in response, boast 
bravely about, stockpiles of oil and the wonders 
of coal gasification. But independent researcher 
Bernard Rivers, sounds considerably more convincing 
when he estimates that no more than six to nine 
months' supply of oil has been stored. 

Officials also make a point of shrugging . 
off recent announcements by several western 
companies that they are pulling back from further 
involvement in South Africa. But the changing 
climate seems clear as Polaroid announces an 
end to its vaunted "experiment" and a vice presi- 
dent of Citibank proclaims, "We are certainly 
not going to put any new money in there." Only 
last spring Citibank was annointed as South 
Africa's most inportant and faithful U.S, banking 
ally, after Chase Manhattan showed signs of 
getting cold feet. 

Talk is cheap. Corporations have always; 
shown a willingness to indulge in a little from 
time to time . , . as long as they could also 
indulge in cheap South African labor and spectac- 
liLar South African profit margins., But statistics 
.suggest that at least some corporations may now 
be reevaluating their positions. 

According to a major study by the U.S. Con- 
-gressional Research Service released in early De- 
ceinber, U.S. corporations which formerly plowed 
60 percent of their South African earnings back 
into increased investments in apartheid are now 
shipping 65 percent of their profits home. The 
study predicts that power and transport will be 
the first sectors of the South African e con ony to 
falter because of a shortage of foreign capital. 
And that this in turn will make investment in 
mines and factories less attractive. 

The dollars are not coming back to the U.S. 
because corporate managers have suddenly been 
afflicted by pangs of conscience after years of 
reaping profits from white supremacy. A Univer- - 
sity of Delaware study suggests quite another 
reason. Ranking coiHitries aroiaid the world on 
a "political risk index" for prospective investors, 
the study shows South Africa plxammeting froln the 
"moderate risk" deep into the "prohibitive risk" 
category over the next three to seven years. 

U.S. activists who have long called on 
American corporations to leave South Africa are 
currently mounting a nationwide caB|)aign focusing 
on general economic disengagement. They are 
beginning to find an unlikely but powerful ally 
in the figures now turning i;p on the pages of the 
financial press .

MISSISSIPPI ACLU DROPS KLAN CASE 

NEW YORK (LNS) —While Ku Klux Klan leaders 
are gloating that they have provoked a heiniiiorage of 
support from the American Civil Liberties Union 
(ACLU) , one deep south ACLU chapter has broken ranks 
with the national policy of handling KKK cases. 

The Mississippi chapter of the ACLU has 
decided no'- to :ake a case defending the Klan' s 
right to hold an "Americanism rallv" at a 
Gulfport, Mississippi high scbooli However, the 
national office of the ACLU, which has the pre- 
rogative to take up any case an affiliate rejects, 
may represent the Klan Instead, according to the 
organization's legal director in New York, 

Dick Johnson, president of the ACLU' s Missis- 
sippi chapter told LNS that his affiliate was com- 
pelled to change its mind due to pressure fr<Hn 
the Gulfport school board and local high school 
students who opposed Klan activity at the high 
school. He also cited the resignation of 10 of the 
Mississippi chapter's 21 state board members 
following a prior decision to defend the Klan, as 
a contributing factor in the decision. The ACLU's 
natlotial board will decide soon whether the national 
office will take the case. 

But there are indications that this decision 
may be a foregone conclusion. Bruce Ennis, ACLU 
Legal Director, told LNS that not only does he 
believe the ACLU should support the Klan in this 
case, but "most of the national leadership believe 
the ACLU should take that case." 

"If free speech means anything," Ennis told 
LNS, "it means any free speech. We believe every- 
one has the right to express an opinion." 

Moreover, Mississippi chapter president Johnson 
told LNS he'd have no qualms if the national office 
decided to defend the Klan. "I feel the national 
office could legitimately determine that first amend- 
ment rights were primary. I personally would have no 
real problems with that decision." 

In any event, Ennis says that the ACLU's firm 
support of the Klan's rights will ultimately ettract 
support for his organization rather than lose it. 

"In the long run it will not hurt us but help us," 
he said, "for the public will realize that the ACLU 
is a principled organization" which will not be com- 
promised. 

Up to now this has not been the case. Th 
ACLU's legal support for the Klan has triggered 
vehement criticism, a severe drop in financial 
contributions and mass resignations— 3,000 in the 
past five months. 

And in a Christmas letter mailed to Klan 
supporters, Klan national director David Duke 
credits his organization for much of the ACLU's 
decline in support. Citing the ACLU's legal defense 
of the Klan's organizing of white marines at Camp 
Pendleton, Calif, and elsewhere, Duke boasts that 
the Klan has "caused the basically anti-white ACLU 
to lose 40 percent of their support", and chalks 
this up as one of the Klan's major accomplishments 
for 1977. 

Many people have agreed that the Klan's real 
purpose in using the ACLU is to destroy it. Still 
others have argned tL- *- the issue is not the Klan's 


right to speak freely but its unsavory history of 
publicly advocating and often fostering racial 
violence and mayhem.

BRITISH JUDGE CONDONES ^CIST REMARP 

NEW YORK (LNS) — The right-wing movement in 
Britain claimed another victory in January in its 
accelerating campaign to stir up animosity against 
nonwhites and immigrants in the country. The head 
of the British judiciary refused to dismiss a 
criminal court judge who ruled that the use of ra- 
cial epithets in public speeches is not unlawful, 
but a right of free speech. The judicial head 
made this decision in the face of demands for the 
judge's ouster made by more than 100 members of Par- 
liament and religious and community groups and 
despite Britain's law specifically banning "incite- 
ment to racial hatred." 

The controversy eruptec as Judge Neil 
McKinnon presided over the trial of John Kingsley 
Read, a former leader of the racist National Front 
Party, and now the head of an equally reactionary 
group, the Democratic National Party. Read was 
charged under the statute outlawing "incitement 
to racial hatred" for a public speech in which he 
lambasted nonwhite Immigration and urged repatri- 
ation of immigrants already in the country. He was 
acquitted by the jury. 

In charging the jury, McKinnon said that use 
of the words "niggers, wogs and coons" b> the 
defendant (or by anyone else, he implied) in a 
public speech was not a violation of the law. The 
Australian-born judge said that the charge against 
Read dealt ^rf.th instigators attempting to whip up 
hatred but not with exhortations aimed at "stemming 
immigration or advocating repatriation." Since 
practically all nonwhites in Bifitain are relatively 
recent immigrants, most racist attacks are carried 
out in the name of "stemming immigration." So the 
judge's interpretation would appear to make the 
law virtually unenforceable. 

On the othe. hand, those who oppose Judge 
McKinnon contend that Read's praise of the killing 
of an Asian youth by another Asian youth, as "one 
down and a million to go", in his speech, was clear- 
ly an incitement to racial hatred. 

Read asserted at the trial that he really meant 
no harm in his speech. He said that he used offen- 
sive words in a humorous vein. The audience laughed 
at them, he said, and no violence followed. 

"In this England of ours at this momentwe are 
allowed to have our own views still, thank goodness, 
McKinnon told the jury. "And long may it last." 

In dismissing the case. Judge McKinnon said to Read: 
"I wish you well." 

Members of Parliament who signed a mo tion de- 
mandlng the judge's remoYal joined many other cit-- 
Izens in Britain who denounced the judge and called 
his statements ""an affront to human rights." .

HEW PRESENTS NEW S.:EERILIZATI0N GUIDELINES; 

HEARINGS SCHEDULED THROUGHOUT COUNTRY 

\,Note to Bditovt : To help groupe and indi- 
viduate plan participation in the HEW hearinge 
scheduled for their areas » we are including a 
list of the dates and places of the hearings. 

You may want to rewrite the first paragraph of 
the following article using your local hearing 
as a lead,'\ 

NEW YORK (LNS)“*U:^der pressure from women's 
and Third World groups .ieficmed to end widespread 
sterilization abuse, the Department of Health, 
Education and Welfare (HEW) has recently pro- 
posed a new set of guidelines for federally- 
funded sterilizations. 

Although containing certain weaknesses, the 
regulations are seen by most groups as "a real 
victory" — "an enormous step forward" for poor 
and Third World women who have long been targets 
of coerced sterilization. 

The New Regulations 

The purpose of the new rules is to prevent 
situations in which patients decide to have steri- 
lization operations because they lack adequate 
information about alternatives, fear reprisals 
such as the withholding of welfare benefits or 
medical care, or give consent under coercion. 

According to the proposed rules, a person 
considering being sterilized must be given the 
following information orally: 

1) Advice that she or he is free to withhold 
or withdraw consent to the procedure at any time 
prior to the sterilization: without affecting her 
or his right to future care or treatment, and 
without the loss or withdrawal of any federally- 
funded benef its to i^^ch the person might be 
otherwise entitled; 

2) a description of available alternative 
methods of family planning and birth control; 

3^ a full description of the benefits or 
advantages she or he may expect to gain from the 
Sterilization; 

4) Advice that the procedure is irreversible; 

5) A thorough explanation of the specific 
sterilization procedure to be performed; 

6) A full description of the discomfort 

and risks Which may accompany and follow the pro- 
cedure including an explanation of the type and 
possible effects of any anaesthetic to be used; 

7) Advice that the sterilization will not 
be performed for at least 30 days from the oral 
consent; 

8) An opportunity to ask and have answered 
any questions she/he may have concemlng the 
procedure. 

Authorized consent forms must be used to 
ensure that the required information is actually 
communicated to the patient and that the patient’s 
consent ^involuntary . The rules propose that the 
consent form should be in the primary language of 
the patient, and, if it is not, that an Interpretor 


be made available to assist th individual. (There 
is, however, no provision that the counseling for 
sterilization be conducted in the patient's pri- 
mary language.) 

The proposed guidelines also establish special 
procedural protections for groups particularly 
vulnerable to coercion — mental incompetents and 
people in mental, correctional or other institu- 
tions. 

The new rules will govern only federally ■ 
funded sterilization, but it is expected that they 
will be made applicable to programs where HEW per- 
sonnel actually perform sterilizations — such 
aS; the Indian Health Service — by administrative 
directive. 

Guideline Weaknesses 

A lack of adequate monitoring and enforcement 
provisions is the central weakness of 
the proposed regulations, according to Committee 
to End Sterilization Abuse spokesperson Keren Stamm. 
In its comments on the guidelines, the Center for 
Constitutional Rights (CCR) urges yearly inspection 
of the consent forms by federal personnel; and 
periodic inspections of at least the approximately 
400 teaching hospitals throughout the country, 
where many poor and Third World women are treated. 

More stringent regulations are also urged to 
protect Native American women in light of the large 
number of Indian women who have undergone coerced 
and uninformed sterilizations at the hands of the 
federally-operated Indian Health Service. 

Further protection of the rights of people in 
institutions and those who have been judged mentally 
incompetant has also been urged. 

"There are an awful lot of private homes for 
the mentally retarded that won't take people at all 
unless they're sterilized," said Stamm, "and the 
government has absolutely no control." She urged 
people who work with retarded people or in institu- 
tions to write up their experiences on how people 
do or do not exercise their rights in those situa- 
tions and either present their testimony in their 
area's local hearings or send them to HEW in Washing- 
ton. 

In coming weeks, HEW will hold public hearings 
throughout the country on the proposed guidelines. 
"It's very clear," said Stamm, "that the Department 
(HEW) at this point is open to pressure. And the 
more people that turn out and show interest, the 
better the chances are that things will be 
rewritten the way they ought to be."

The messages say, in part: "We are calling 
for an all-white war against Jews and other non- 
whites. I am sure you realizd that illegal non- 
white immigrants have overrun O'lr borders and 
have made us flee to the suburbs of our cities, 

"We are beginning a battle by offering a 
$5,000 prize for every nonwhite killed during 
an attack on a white person i" 

The court ruled that Jewish television 
personality Marvin Zindler, who filed suit to 
enjoin the messages, had no girounds for his 
suit. The court said that Zwindler faced no 
real personal threat because of the tapes, since 
listeners must dial a telephone number in order 
to hear them.

ANOTHER "SUICIDE?' AT MARION PRISON 

NEW York (LNS) — •Scott Caldwell, a prisoner 
in the infamous long-term control unit at the 
U.S. Penitentiary in Marion, Illinois, died 
December 31, 1977, in what prison officials 
reported &s a suicide by hanging. Caldwell is 
the sixth prisoner, an4i the third in 1977 alone, 
to have allegedly taken his life while confined 
lii the control unit. The unit is notorious for 
its brutal and inhuman treatment of prisoners. 
Despite the official version of the cause of the 
deaths, sources familiar with the incidents 
say that foul play can certainly not be ruled 
■out. ■ ’ '■ '"'■ ■ . ■ ■ ' " ■■• 

{ ■ ■ \ -"14 ■ . . , ■ • ' , 

Meanwhile, the National Committee to Support 
the Marion Brothers reports that legal efforts 
to close the control tinit have been delayed by 
the presiding judge's failure to rule cn the case 
two and one half years after it was tried. The 
judges has procrastinated despite a U.S. Bureau 
of Prisons admission that the suicide rate in 
the unit is five times the rate in any other 
federal prison and despite a Chicago Federal 
Appeals Court ruling that the infamous closed- 
front box cells in the unit represant a form 
of punishment equal to the rack, the screw and 
the wheel of medieval times.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING THE LNS INDEX 


•This index covers LNS packet 839, January 5, 1977 through 
892, December 16, 1977. 

•The index is divided into four sections: 
page 3: NATIONAL 
page 1 1 : INTERNATIONAL 
page 14: GRAPHICS, NATIONAL 
page 16: GRAPHICS, INTERNATIONAL 



•The full title of each LNS article is listed under the appropriate 
category and subcategory, for example: 

THIRD WORLD PEOPLE IN THE U.S. 

NATIVE AMERICANS 

INTERNATIONAL FORUMS 

OPPRESSION/RESISTANCE see also ENERG Y(NUCLEAR) 
884 Native American Woman Protets Daughter’s Racist 
Education 400/4 
TRIALS/PRISONERS 
Skyhorse/Mohawk 

888 Skyhorse and Mohawk Denied RiglUto^Act as Own^ 
Attorneys as Trial Continues 750/8- 



♦Each article is listed only once, under the category it focuses oh 
the most. 









For example, an article that focuses on one subject but mentions 
another tangentially will only be listed under the first. 

Another example: articles focusing primarily on Skyhorse and 
Mohwak, not every article mentioning their names, will be found 
under TRIALS: Skyhorse/Mohawk. 


♦The “OTHER” subcategpry found at the end of each list of categories 
includes articles that do not fit under any one of the categories, or those 
that encompass a number of subcategories. 


♦Cross-referencing is indicated in italics. There are two types of cross- 
references: 

1) If you look under “A” for amnesty, you will see a cross-reference which 

reads: see MILITARY (AMNESTY), In other words, no 

articles are listed under “A” for amnesty. They are all listed under 
military, under the subcategory amnesty. 

2) Some categories have articles listed under them, and in addition, have 
a cross-reference to indicate another category where you might look for 
related articles. For example: NATIVE AMERICANS (OPPRESSION/ 
RESISTANCE), which has articles listed under it, also indicates there is 
a related article listed under ENERGY (NUCLEAR). (See above.) 


♦In the graphics section of the index the packet number where you will 
find a photo or graphic will be listed under its appropriate subject. A 
detailed description of each graphic is not included. For example:
